My Story
🌻Guiding Growth with Grounded Presence
Hi! I am Amanda "Mandy" Anzalone. Welcome — I’m the founder of Sunflower Soul Coaching, where growth is nurtured through presence, empathy, and deep listening.
With over 25 years of experience guiding both youth and adults through transformation, I help you blossom into who you are meant to be.
🌿Rooted in Nature
Growing up in the mountains of Colorado, nature was my first teacher—its quiet rhythms taught me to slow down, listen deeply, and trust the natural cycles of change.
That connection shapes my coaching today—grounded, intuitive, and aligned with your natural rhythm of growth.
“Growth happens gently, from the inside out.”
✨A Life of Teaching, Leading, and Guiding
I hold a B.A. in Sociology from Colorado College and a Master’s in Education from Regis University.
For over 15 years, I taught and tutored elementary and middle school students with special needs, coached high school volleyball, and led a garden-based therapy and transition program.
Later, I created and directed a children’s outdoor and equestrian program at a Colorado guest ranch for 9 years—mentoring youth and staff and earning the affectionate nickname “Momma Mandy.”
As Director of Training and Development at the same ranch, I led with empathy and grounded leadership—helping others reconnect with themselves and return to the world renewed, confident, and clear on their purpose.
“Everyone has an inner light—sometimes we just need a little help finding our way back to it.”
💛The Heart of Sunflower Soul Coaching
My work centers on helping you find clarity, confidence, and connection to your authentic self.
Together, we will cultivate awareness, resilience, and a sense of purpose that feels both grounded and free.
